Renal function at 12 months of kidney transplantation comparing tacrolimus and mycophenolate with tacrolimus and mTORi in donors with different KDPI ranges. A multicenter cohort study using propensity scoring.

Introduction: The combination of tacrolimus/mTORi compared to tacrolimus/mycophenolate (MMF) was shown to be safe in the TRANSFORM trial. For donors with a high KDPI (Kidney Donor Profile Index), however, there are no data to support the effectiveness of this regimen. The main objective of this study was to explore the influence of the KDPI on 12-month renal function (eGFR) in patients receiving mTORi or MMF.

Kidney transplantation with donors in severe acute kidney injury. Should we use these organs? Retrospective Case Series.

Introduction: The number of incident and prevalent patients on dialysis has increased, as well as the number of candidates for renal transplantation in Brazil, without a proportional increase in the number of organ donors. The use of expanded kidneys, as to renal function, may be an alternative to increase the supply of organs.

Objective: to discuss the feasibility of using expanded kidneys for renal function, which are in severe acute renal injury.

Kidney transplantation is associated with reduced myocardial fibrosis. A cardiovascular magnetic resonance study with native T1 mapping.

Background: The measurement of native T1 through cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a noninvasive method of assessing myocardial fibrosis without gadolinium contrast. No studies so far have evaluated native T1 after renal transplantation. The primary aim of the current study is to assess changes in the myocardium native T1 6 months after renal transplantation.

Evaluation of the 1000 renal transplants carried out at the University Hospital of the Botucatu Medical School (HCFMB) - UNESP and their evolution over the years.

Introduction: The progress in kidney transplantation has been evident over the years, as well as its benefits for patients.

Objectives: To evaluate the 1.000 kidney transplants performed at the Botucatu Medical School University Hospital, subdividing the patients in different periods, according to the current immunosuppression, and evaluating the differences in graft and patient survival.

Nephrectomy Versus Embolization of Non-Functioning Renal Graft: A Systematic Review with a Proportional Meta-Analysis.

There is no standardization on the timing of the best approach to treat a non-functioning renal graft. We reviewed the literature and performed a proportional meta-analysis of case series of transplantectomy and embolization for a non-functioning renal graft. The groups were compared for mortality and morbidity outcomes.

Evaluation of gasometric parameters in trauma patients during mobile prehospital care.

Objective: To evaluate gasometric differences of severe trauma patients requiring intubation in prehospital care.

Methods: Patients requiring airway management were submitted to collection of arterial blood samples at the beginning of pre-hospital care and at arrival at the Emergency Room. We analyzed: Glasgow Coma Scale, respiratory rate, arterial pH, arterial partial pressure of CO2 (PaCO2), arterial partial pressure of O2 (PaO2), base excess (BE), hemoglobin O2 saturation (SpO2) and the relation of PaO2 and inspired O2 (PaO2/FiO2).
